Existing album covers (inspiration)

These are MuteMaths already existing album covers. We are taking some conventions and ideas from them as we think their image is an important part of the band.
Some of these conventions include quite dull, dark colours such as, greys, greens and blues. One of them is even black and white a feature which we have included in our video itself. There is also a shadowey tint included in them that could symbolise the reflection of the spotlight in our ideas for the album cover. We have also noticed that there is mostly something auirky featured within the cover. for example the band having TVs instead of heads is quite intersesting. This immediantly attracts the audience towards the band memebers as they also notice that something is wrong/ different about the picture. there album covers include some interesting voyerism in that as you look at the album covers it feels as if they are looking at you - if that makes sense. This is quite effective in attracting people to buy the album/ EP because they are immedianly interested in it. In our albm cover we have tried to use these similarities in that we have included the band jumping/ climbing out of a spotlight, this is a link to the video and the theme as the actual single is called 'Spotlight.'
